But he can't play it to the other side and every sensible person knows where he should've played it. Hindsight.

You don't understand. No one said it cant go there. I said it is easier to recover if it is going to the keeper's right. This keeper tried to recover but was poor at it. If this ball went to his right, he would probably have gotten there.

Remember too there was a movement from Blind which added to the confusion.

ToyinDipo:
Elampiro, did you see that?

There is nothing extraordinary there. I never said the freekick can't go there, but it is more dangerous going to the keeper's left. This keeper still dived but DeGea didn't move.

chrisley024:
@elampiro and those blaming DDG for Sigurdson goal. Did you see this Rashford's goal? Gk expecting the ball behind the wall and was beaten on the side he should be covering.

The keeper made the right move, only that his recovery was poor. The movement of Blind added to his confusion.

Pogba has been very good.

chrisley024:
Arsene Wenger has revealed he went to Mbappe's house last summer as he came extremely close to securing a deal to bring the Monaco star to Arsenal.

They swear for this man

This thing is embarrassing. He should stop saying these things.

Leyqute:
Alright. If you think so.

I have a feeling this Celta side will run at us with a lot of energy and pawa. They'll test the keeper a number of times and the person in between those two iron frames will determine a lot.

Can Romero save a barrage of shots on target? How does he perform when under pressure? Spain is DDG's hometown so he'll be more at ease than Romero.

Romero is not in the same class as DeGea, but Romero's ability to read aerial balls and coming out to pick them before opposing players get their head to them have prevented so many dangers and possible goals from such situations. I have seen situations where I would say if that was DeGea in goal he would have stayed on his line and cause a goalmouth scamble in our box. It is not just by chance that Romero has kept many clean sheets.

DeGea is best in shot stopping with his reflexes but we have not been having many shots against us, most threats are from corner kicks, crossings and freekicks.

SIRcumalot:
this mbappe boy no be joke o, na the first time I go watch am be this.

I tell you

United squad that travelled to Spain:

De Gea, Pereira, Romero, Valencia, Darmian, Tuanzebe, Bailly, Smalling, Jones, Blind, Carrick, Lingard, Fellaini, Pogba, Herrera, Young, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Rooney, Martial, Rashford

obainojazz:
True... but you and I know this our attack is crap. we in a time where every big teams are buying the best players in the world.. we don't have any (maybe two). we need in every position. griezman ain't the answer..but he's an improvement.

The money is too much. It's even a gamble.


You compare Griezmann with Suarez and see a big difference.

obainojazz:
grizzy is better than Ali, now can you tell me the price tag on All?

1. So if you are told that Alli's buyout clause is £80m you will pay? Meanwhile Greizman is £100m as being speculated.

2. Ali is 21, Griezmann is 26. A twenty-one year old playing at Alli's level will cost much because he has so much future. It was partly the reason Pogba was so costly. They have many many years more to offer.

3. You said Griezmann is better than Alli? Well I wont argue but what I know is that Alli appears to be ascending while Griezmann is descending currently. Meanwhile, Alli who plays in the hole has outscored Griezmann who plays as a co striker for his team.


Think well. Griezmann has three years of football left in him. Alli has nine. When Bale and Neymar were bought for high fee, they had plenty of years to offer.

obainojazz:
can dele Alli go past bodies..or even ronaldo of present..but his goals is about to give him another wpoty...its all about the goals man...you need to watch griezman...he's good running with the ball unlike rashford that forgets the ball. Grizzy is an update in our attacking department...a very good buy..

And you will buy Dele Ali for £100m?

Rashford is a teenager who has plenty of years to develop his game. There is no way we wouldn't have felt Rashford presence in the match of yesterday. You will see him trying to take on Ramos and co, except his inexperience would have let him down.

raumdeuter:
Current Ronaldo what is his style of football? Does he go past bodies

He still does it more than Griezmann. Mind you, Ronaldo is declining. Griezmann is rumoured to have a release clause of £100m. We don't need him

raumdeuter:
For an attacking player the stats are the most important thing

Yesterday when you were attacking Griezmann you asked ONLY for his stats

It's a lie. I mentioned his style of play first that he cannot go past bodies, but he plays only Give-me-I-give-you football.

MRTA7:
Very good news if true. Hope they've not been rushed back. Here's hoping its good news for now on.

Even if they are rushed back, we can give them injection. Bailly id fit though.

raumdeuter:
But just yesterday yoh were asking how many goals Griezmann has scored.
Is goals scored not stats?

I said football is not ONLY about stats.

Oasis007:
Bailly, Mata, Pogba, Jones and Smalling are back in the Team.

What a partial Relief I must say!

Good news, just about sharing this now. We can give them injection if they are not fully fit. The season is over.

pelvicky:
what else do you want him to do?

He is under performing this season and you want to buy him for £100m?

chic2pimp:
The Question is simple enough. No point trying to wriggle your way out of it. How is Griezman a one season wonder bikonu?

Apart from helping Atletico with some crucial goals against top opposition in the UCL knockout last season, what else has he done. Even the goals were headers and chances capitalised upon. He didnt even dribble past bodies to score like Bale or Neymar would do. Let’s even leave out Ronaldo and Messi. Suarez can still beat man.

Chelseafan1:
What else do you want, he scores goals and assists even more than Hazard, that is Raumdeuter kind of player, better than Hazard

Football is not only about stats.

elrony:
How is Griezzy a one season wonder biko?



Elampiro no kee me ooo

You no know ball.

Good night.

elrony:
God forbid Benzema to play for us... Tufiakwa!

Griezzy will be an upgrade on whatever we have...

Benzema is shadowed by Ronaldo. Even Higuan couldn't shine under Ronaldo. Although I think Benzema is lazy, just like James Rodriguez.

As for Griezmann, we don't need just an upgrade on what we have for £100. Even Chichatito will be an upgrade on what we currently have. Same with Lukaku, Vardy.

elrony:
You can pay 89m for a CM but cannot pay above 60m for a proven forward abi?

What is proven for a player and that had a one season wonder and declined terribly? Harry Kane is more proven than Griezmann. Count me out of this mugu they want to catch us on this deal.

raumdeuter:
Alexis has played as top striker multiple times this season

Ronaldo and Messi are anomalies in football and no one even comes close to them so using them to stroke Griezmann is dead on arrival, How many players dead or alive can match the numbers of Ronaldo and Messi

while in Spain Alexis played in 41, 46, and 54 games

Ronaldo was not at his peak in England, He left England as a 24 yr old, Most players dont hit their peak until their late 20s. Suarez who is inferior to Ronaldo and played in an inferior Liverpool scored 31 goals in his last season despite not taking penalty and missing 5 game he has only beaten that 31 goals 1 time in La liga

Look at the seasonal minutes played, Sanchez finds it easier in Spain. If you say he plays striking role now and that he is more matured now, it weakens your argument further.

Ronaldo was matured before he left England. He won Ballon D'or in 2008 season and fell in goals in 2009. In 2010 he started scoring goals like pure water in Spain.

elrony:
You never ready!!!

In today's football market?

How much did we buy dab lord again?

Even in today’s market, Griezmann is not worth above that. If we pay £60, it is just because we are already known to be Father Christmas in the transfer market.

You talk about dab lord. I think he will always be more important to a team than Griezmann. And do you want dablord+Griezmann alone to cost £200m? Money big enough to assemble a Premier league team?

elrony:
Have you done his valuation?
Do you know he has his eyes only for Madrid ni?

How's Mahrez faring this season?

Aubameyang can be negotiated. If he goes to Madrid it will mean Benzema will be free. So we can even take that one for cheap.

Mahrez will cost peanut compared to Greizman. It is not to assemble a team with 1 billion and still struggle. Get the right players in right places.

elrony:
I understand your concern about price and hype et al.


So whom would you like us to add to improve our squad?

Feasible targets tho.

And by the way, Hamès is still a good footballer, just no place to settle in this Madrid team.

I have said I prefer Aubameyang who is far cheaper. We can buy Mahrez to play our right wing. There are many options.

elrony:
That made him the 3rd best player inna world, me thinks?

He is shyte. Kanu Nwankwo was once the fourth best player in the world. We can go on and on.

Anything above £50 is too much for Griezmann.

elrony:
What commands a player price tag ?

Is it not his ability and overall contribution to his team?

Some players are over valued due to undue hype as a result of one season wonder. For instance James Rodriguez world cup wonder.

elrony:
I'd like to know what you mean by this? Honestly.

Give-me-I-give-you football

elrony:
How many times have you seen him play this season?

If we go by your logic, Ronaldo must be a waste pipe after that Clasico last two weeks or so.

Every time I have seen Griezmann play, he does nothing other than give-me-I-give. We are going to have another man just to complete the number without being a match winner.

Ronaldo reaches world class 80% of the time. Griezmann reaches world class once in a blue moon.

elrony:
What are you all about sef?
How many of our forwards are currently better than Griezzy?

How many of our forwards are rated £100m?

raumdeuter:
How many players who are not the top striker have 25 league goals in the whole of Europe

Alexis Sanchez has 19 league goals but played as a top striker in many games.

25 goals in Spain will turn to 15? Well Alexis 15, 11 and 21 goals in SPain turned to 25, 17 and 24 in England. Zlatan 19 goals in Spain has turned into 29 in England now

So Sanchez has more league goals than the £100m valued Greizman? And you think it is a good deal?

Ronaldo and Messi are not top strikers yet they bang in goals any how.

How many games did Alexis start in the Spain, and how many sub outs? How many minutes all together? Zlatan had an off season in Spain, that is not an ideal example. We should look at everywhere else Zlatan has been to. From 50 goals a season in France to less than 30 in England.

If you want to know how much England is hard you have to look at Ronaldo who scored 32 league goals in 2008 and was unable to score 20 the next season. But he keeps scoring above 30 since he went to Spain.
